No. 4 Colorado School of  Mines was stunned by inter-state rival Colorado Mesa 14-13 in Week 6 on Oct. 5.

The Anchor-Bone Classic in Allendale, Mich. was close for a half, but then No. 3 Ferris State, the 2021 and 2022 NCAA Division II National Champions, looked like it could win it again in 2024.

Ferris State and Grand Valley State clashed in the highly anticipated 2024 Anchor Bone Classic at Lubbers Stadium in Allendale, Michigan.

GVSU football is not going down without a fight with a 45 yard jet sweep to get back into the ball game and make it a six point game after a big time thrown from quarterback Ike Udengwu on 3rd and 12 to keep the drive alive.

Ferris State Bulldogs quarterback Trinidad Chambliss scores the first touchdown of the Anchor-Bone Classic on a 31-yard scramble; only a couple plays after making an impressive improvising throw for 18 yards on 3rd and 8.

Although the biggest team in the state of Michigan packs the Big House every Saturday and are the defending national champions, they don't even have the best 2024 football record in the state.

My advice to you: enjoy it while it lasts.

While most of the NCAA Division II Football world will be watching the another massive Michigan matchup, Northern Michigan and Michigan Tech will be the opening act on Oct. 26 for GLIAC Michigan football.

Will GVSU Football's win streak continue or will Ferris State erase 2023 from our memories with a big win in Lubbers Stadium?

The Anchor-Bone Classic is always a must-watch game, but this year it's arguably the best Division II football game of the season as No. 1 Grand Valley State hosts No. 3 Ferris State Football for a mid-day GLIAC matchup with playoff implications.

The excitement has been building up all season for the 2024 edition of the Anchor-Bone Classic and with only a few days to go, this year's match will undoubtedly be one of the best Division II football games of the season.

A week after barely surviving against Saginaw Valley, back-to-back champions GVSU face a daunting threat in conference rival Ferris State, who has been dominant and steadily improving each week. Ferris State looks like a clear favorite after a series of dominating wins after their early season stumble. Meanwhile, GVSU certainly has been struggling to put teams away.

For most of the last five decades, the Ferris State Bulldogs have been plying their trade on the gridiron as members of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, but the program’s history traces back to a five-game season in 1900.

Grand Valley State and Ferris State have become the faces of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, battling annually for control of the might GLIAC, while also helping to catapult the conference into the national spotlight.

Week 7 may have seemed chaotic, but Week 8 in Division II proved to be even more tumultuous, with multiple unexpected results, causing Grand Valley State to rise to the top and claim the No. 1 spot.
